Lozzo Lozzo, the 7R needs to be GREEN

I would see how it rides but I think I prefer the CBR600 already.

I've only ever owned one green Kawasaki, and that was crap. I'll most likely paint this one silver again, back to original spec.

they do look great in green though.

Are you going to make it road legal or make it a track bike? Looks like it needs a lot of work.
Did you get a bargain?

The jury is out on that one. I've owned more red Kawasakis than any other colour. When I bought the KR-1 I wasn't keen on owning a green one, I was hoping it was a red one when I went to view it.

bit unfair though on that it was a kr-1 so it never had good odds to start off with

my bros was red and looked good though even he said he preferred them in green depends what you like really

It was a stupid cheap bargain, and despite what it looks like it's actually a very sound bike.

I doubt I'll be making it my trackbike, I get on far too well with my CBR600 to want to change.

The 7R needs new bodywork and painting, which by my standards is not a huge amount of work. Chassis is perfect, engine is sweet, it has new tyres, new chain and sprockets, new battery and was serviced just before being laid up. My housemate has so much spare ZX-7R bodywork he doesn't know what to do with it all, so the best of the spare bits will be sent off for minor repairs and new paint while I set to cleaning and painting the rest that requires attention.

By the time this bike is completed it'll be completely different and one of the nicest 7Rs around.
